Well, from the perspective of the shareholders, you’re doing everything right if you’re making more money. And sadly, not enough people push back on this sort of thing to make it not profitable.

It died because to make games fit on discs/media they need to be compact making it very hard to ship a limited version without shipping all content. Back in the days generally all the “try before you buy” games shipped the full content leading to cracks that simply unlocked it.
Today a company that doesn’t have a hard-on for DRM could of course run with the model and just chalk up piracy to advertisment and people that wouldn’t buy the game anyway. Kinda like any company selling on GOG.
Of course those are the minority, most companies want / need DRM in some form and the model just works against it. It might be possible to make it work with something like Denuvo but I doubt anyone would be happy about that.

Yeah my Recycle Lite software from then when they were called Propellerhead stopped working too as the key didn’t activate anymore. Now I know why. They really don’t give a fuck for a long time already.
Good video, but the text in the OP is terrible
Stupid question, is the link an activity pub instance? It says instance, but I’m not sure of what it hooks up to. (I’m not techy)
It’s an instance of Invidious, which does not use ActivityPub. Invidious is software you can host to portal to YouTube while preventing most of google’s ability to track and advertise.
Thanks for explaining, I thought it was a great setup for an activitypub type of vlogging, lol.
Just in case you didn’t know, there’s PeerTube, an ActivityPub-compatible software for video sharing ;-)
Thanks for that, I didn’t put vlogging and peertube together. I’m not sure why, that’s kind of stupid on my part.
I’d rather have a youtube link and people who want to use invidious can have a browser extension to redirect it.
If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing.
